Operating since 1775, the House of Houbigant is the only fragrance house that has existed through four centuries of history.
Through these centuries, the perfumers of the House of Houbigant have made groundbreaking discoveries in the formulation of perfumes that have revolutionized forever the way perfumes are constructed. It is not an exaggeration to say that, without the House of Houbigant, modern perfumery as we know it today would not exist.
It all began with just a basket of flowers. One day in Paris in 1775, a young man, Jean-Francois Houbigant, hung a hand painted sign of a basket of flowers over his little shop in rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré. From the start his fragrances found favour with royalty and the nobility. Houbigant taught the titled women at the Court of Versailles how to perfume their fans so that just a fragrant flutter would send out a romantic message.

Olfactory Notes
Ingredients
The perfectly-blended perfume is redolent of green, fragrant sedge, hardy foliage, and delicately-curled fronds of shaded, dense, moist woodlands. Sweet vernal grasses suggest the freshly-released essences of trampled, crushed, trodden, dewy verdure, with an intense hint of newly-mown hay.
FOUGÈRE ROYALE HOUBIGANT: THE CONCEPT
Created by Master Perfumer Paul Parquet in 1882, Fougère Royale completely revolutionized the world of perfumes and established modern perfumery as it exists today. As well as creating an entirely new fragrance family, Parquet had succeeded in extracting isolated, synthetic molecules from natural, raw materials. In the dedicated pursuit to expand olfactory palettes with novel, new aromas, he’d derived coumarin from the Tonka Bean in a worldwide premiere. In its mission to authentically replicate the original, regal masterpiece from centuries past, the reengineered formula cultivates refined, prestigious raw materials of the highest quality and provenance. Fougère Royale retains its discriminating, elegant, noble, refined pulse and its pleasant, pastoral beauty.

Top Notes: The initial impression evokes the fresh, verdant aroma of a lush forest. Green sedge and hardy foliage create a vibrant opening, accented by the delicate scent of curled ferns. A subtle sweetness hints at vernal grasses, contributing to the overall impression of dewy greenery.
Heart Notes: As the fragrance develops, the pastoral theme continues with the prominent aroma of newly-mown hay. This heart note adds a warm, dry element, complementing the initial green notes and creating a balanced, natural accord. The coumarin derived from Tonka bean, a groundbreaking ingredient in the original 1882 formula, likely contributes a smooth, slightly sweet, and warm facet to the heart.
Base Notes: While the original description doesn't explicitly list base notes, we can infer the presence of enduring elements that provide depth and longevity. These likely include woody notes and mossy accords to anchor the green and herbaceous elements, contributing to the overall impression of a dense, shaded woodland. The overall effect is a refined and elegant fragrance that balances freshness with warmth and depth.
